PDF document in Virtual Memory on Kubuntu Live CD.

[kagashe]

Hi,

Today, I don't have a working Hard Disc on my Laptop and I am using Kubuntu Live CD. I don't have any printer and I generally save the documents to be printed in PDF and mail them to a friend for printing.

I had booked a rail ticket and when I reached the printing stage I was amazed to find that I could print as PDF and save it on the home folder which is located in the virtual memory.

I could also mail the document to my friend.

Why do we need Hard Discs?

I agree completely! I am doing some house-sitting for a friend, and I simply wanted privacy to use the web on their computer, so I brought my cable modem (they have the same cable provider), a live CD of Ubuntu, and whammo! The virtual memory seems to do it all. I am amazed at the stability of the kernel even when it is being squeezed for space!

Loving Ubuntu!

p.s. Hard disk space can provide additional security by enabling cryptography. Usually the same technology can be applied to any kind of drive including a usb pen-drive. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that in a lot of cases in home-computing the same results could be acheived WITHOUT A HARD DRIVE!
